It is hard Rebekah I used to be horrendous at it. We just aren’t taught or encouraged to do it, and there can be bad consequences when we do it. Do you know what lead to you struggling with it?
I think simply existing made it worse! And conflicting everything as a kid, just freeze up entirely.
It is really hard mate, women are less likely to play contact sports, have assertive role models or be encouraged to stand up for ourselves. Then our childhood experiences can make it even harder. It took a lot of counselling, practice and just getting older to get good at it.

Men with tits or women who deserve comeuppance is a good way of putting it!
